Two essential tests, one visit

Pure-Tone Audiometry (PTA)

The foundational hearing test

Pure-Tone Audiometry (PTA) is a fundamental hearing test that measures your ability to hear various tones across a range of frequencies. By presenting pure tones through headphones, this test helps identify the faintest sounds you can detect, allowing us to determine the degree and type of hearing loss you may have.

Speech Audiometry Test (SAT)

Real-world speech comprehension

The Speech Audiometry Test (SAT) evaluates your ability to understand and process speech. This test involves listening to and repeating words at different volume levels, helping us assess your speech recognition capabilities. The SAT provides valuable insights into how well you can comprehend spoken language in various listening environments.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is there anything I need to do before a hearing test?

Before your hearing test, complete a comprehensive medical history and bring a list of any medications and supplements you’re taking. Additionally, consider bringing a family member or an adult friend for support and to help you understand the test results and recommendations.

When should I take a hearing test?

You should take a hearing test if you notice any signs of hearing loss, such as difficulty understanding conversations, frequently asking others to repeat themselves, or needing to turn up the volume on electronic devices. However, even without a history of ear issues, individuals over 18 years should have their hearing screened at least once every 10 years. The frequency ideally increases to every three years after age 50.

What happens if my hearing test shows hearing loss?

If your hearing test indicates hearing loss, our audiologists will discuss the test results with you in detail and explore potential causes. We will then recommend the best treatment options, which may include hearing aids or other assistive devices. We’ll also provide a personalized plan for managing your hearing health and schedule follow-up appointments as needed.

How long does it take to get my hearing test report?

You will receive your hearing test report within the same consultation session. Our audiologists will review the results with you, answer any questions, and discuss the next steps if hearing loss is detected. This ensures you have a clear understanding of your hearing health and can make informed decisions about your treatment options.
